Why it mattered
Historic building — Ballyduff matters for the exact reasons given in its official assessment, rather than merely because it is an old structure. The source records: This bridge is an attractive, if subtle, feature in the centre of the village of Ballyduff. The construction in unrefined random rubble stone with squared rubble stone accents serves to integrate the bridge pleasantly into the surrounding landscape. The construction of the arch, which has retained its original profile, identifies the civil engineering heritage significance of the composition. This explains what the place adds to local life, the street or the surviving built history.
